cohen, what does president obama have to do? does he have to unequivocally make a commitment to labor? i think, look, president obama can't win a second term if he doesn't have labor with him. i mean really with him. it's going to be that close. so what are your expectations of the president? >> i think he has to continue to do what we just heard today. he's got to speak to american workers, both union and not. and say that i stand with you. i stand against the offshoring of jobs. i stand against the pay cuts. against the health care cuts. against the elimination of retirement security. whether it's social security or pensions on the jobs. i stand with you. young and old, american working women and men, whether you have a union or not, i'm here for you. >> james hoffa, larry cohen, great to have you gentlemen with us tonight on "the ed show." thanks so much. >>> coming up, paul ryan can't seem to tell the truth, and you won't believe what he's lying about this time. this is a dandy. stay with us. idide? you're not my dad ahh!! h
